Gameplay
editPlayers control a Time Lord, one of the races from the series, and need to challenge opponents with card decks which they build. The winning player is the one with the most Power.[4] Each player has a customizable deck of 12 cards and 3 cards in your hand.
Card sets
editCards for the game operate on Reality Gaming Group's Digital Asset Trading (DAT) Platform. Each card is minted as an NFT on a "sidechain” and can be traded and sold on marketplaces.[5] Prior to the game's release, cards were available to collect starting from October 2020.[1]
Development
editThe game was first announced in August 2020 as a partnership between BBC Studios and Reality Gaming Group to create a digital trading card game based on the Doctor Who IP using blockchain technology. This would allow each collectible to be to be secured and protected by tokenizing as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).[6]
Reality's co-founder Tony Pearce had said that understanding "what an NFT is” had proved difficult for Doctor Who fans at the start. Together with the BBC, they hoped to “educate the younger Doctor Who fans of why there is value and utility with these cards.”[7]
In November 2024, the game was released in early access onto the Epic Games Store.[8]
